I often love the articles that come from Mindtools.comTo me the idea of saying nice things to myself seems so small and I feel like it won't produce any results.It's actually a small effort we can put forth that can lead to big results.Back in the day...we're talking 2005 here, I used to co-facilitate Career Exploration workshops and one piece that we used on our Assertiveness and Self Esteem day talked about the power of positive thought.It may still seem kind of abstract to some but think about it this way: it all starts with what's going on inside your mind.Ghandi was so smart...I see that Margaret Thatcher also has a similar quote...maybe we'll never know who really said this:

"Your beliefs become your thoughts,

Your thoughts become your words,

Your words become your actions,

Your actions become your habits,

Your habits become your values,

Your values become your destiny."

If we can think something nice about ourselves and practice this daily, then the result trickles down to how we speak about ourselves and to others.
